Space cardioid - Alchetron, The Free Social Encyclopedia

The space cardioid is a 3-dimensional curve derived from the cardioid. It has a parametric representation using trigonometric functions.

Definition

The general form of the equation is most easily understood in parametric form, as follows:

X ( t ) = ( ( k + cos ⁡ ( t ) ) cos ⁡ ( t ) , ( j + cos ⁡ ( t ) ) sin ⁡ ( t ) , sin ⁡ ( t ) )
